Greenfield Student Honored with Top Scholarship

GREENFIELD, WI—A Greenfield student has been honored with a massive college scholarship.

Julia Richardson, a freshman at Biola University and resident of Greenfield, WI, was among 338 freshmen who received one of the college's highest scholarships - the President's or Provost's scholarship - for the 2020/2021 academic year. Richardson is studying Mathematics (BS) at Biola. Students who receive either scholarship have achieved a high level of academic excellence.
Freshmen students are eligible for the President's and Provost's scholarship - $20,000 and $19,000 per year respectively - if upon entering the university, they meet the requirements of the scholarship.

Students are considered for this scholarship upon admission to the university based on the combination of their GPA and SAT, both math and English, scores. According to Biola's admissions department, recipients of the President's scholarship have a minimum GPA of 3.88 and an SAT composite score of 1340. Recipients of the Provost's scholarship have a minimum GPA of 3.87 and an SAT composite score of 1120.

Students must maintain a GPA of 3.2 while taking courses at Biola to receive the scholarship the following year.

Biola students attended classes remotely this fall through "Biola at Home" - Biola's new digital experience of a Biola education. The core strengths of Biola's excellent education has been made available in new ways as Biola provides the same services students enjoy on campus in a new format. The faculty interaction, small class sizes and faith integration that make a Biola education distinct were still available to students virtually.

Biola University is a nationally ranked Christian university in the heart of Southern California.
